AMC increases its footprint in Connecticut, NY and Maryland with the acquisition of seven theaters with bow ties

Updated, after exclusivity: The largest exhibition in the world, AMC Theaters, has entered into an agreement with Bow Tie Cinemas to create and operate seven Bow Tie locations in Connecticut, New York and Annapolis, MD. All of this is 66 additional screens for AMC. The circle confirmed the news that Deadline had originally listened to full blast.

For those who remember, the Bau Tie was once used to run the Late Siegfeld Theater in New York, W. 54th Street, which opened in 1969 and closed in 2016. The Bau Tie is an old theater club that started in 1900 and belongs to the third and fourth generation of his founding family. The show will continue to be staged in the theaters of Richmond, Virginia; New Haven, CT; Schenectady, New York; Ridgewood, New Jersey; Basalt, CO and Manhattan. The company is expanding into the luxury entertainment center industry and into additional cinemas.

AMC’s acquisition of the Connecticut Bau tie seats includes Marquis 16, Royale 6, SoNo 8 (formerly Regent 8), Majestic 6 and Landmark 8, doubling AMC’s theaters in the state of the Constitution.

AMC acquires Saratoga Springs 11 from Bow Tie in New York and Annapolis Mall 11 in Annapolis. Participation, I have learned from sources, will keep employees safe everywhere.

Marquis 16, Landmark 8, Majestic 6 and Annapolis Mall 11 are scheduled for the weekend of April 21, while the others will open in late April.

Many popular network services and the AMC Stubs A-List loyalty program will be launched.

The Marquis 16, Royale 6, SoNo 8, Majestic 6, Landmark 8 and Annapolis Mall 11 have been graced with folding seats in recent years. Saratoga Springs 11, Marquis 16, Majestic 6 and Annapolis Mall 11, I understand, will have PLF screens.

In December, AMC reached lease agreements for the former Pacific and Arclight theaters in the Los Angeles and Chicago markets, including Northridge Fashion Center 10 and Arclight Chicago 14 in the Lincoln Park area, excluding the Grove and Glendale Galleria locations in Los Angeles. .

Commenting on today’s deal, Adam Aron, CEO of AMC, said, “Today’s announcement is exciting for AMC, our shareholders and many viewers in the northeastern United States. Our theater acquisition strategy makes AMC a better and stronger company as we continue on the road to recovery. The conquest of these places is particularly noteworthy with our expansion into Connecticut, where we have doubled our presence. We are all in favor of bringing AMC Witchcraft to more and more theaters across the country, as our mid-2021 acquisitions of AMC The Grove 14 and AMC Americana at Brand 18, both in the Los Angeles market, continue to rank at 30.
